Larry and Cathie are passionate about human rights, indigenous rights, restorative justice and public education. Larry started in restorative justice in 1996 as a founding member of the Kaslo Restorative Justice Committee. In 2001 he teamed up with film maker Cathie Douglas and together they created Heartspeak Productions. They partnered with Professor Liz Elliott and the Centre of Restorative Justice at Simon Fraser University and Community Justice Initiatives and many others to launch their first video project, A Healing River - An Invitation to Explore Restorative Justice Values and Principles. Their quest took them up to the Yukon to learn from Harold, Colleen and Phil Gatensby of the Tlinget Nation and into the prisons of the Lower Mainland volunteering with the Alternatives to Violence Project and the Native Brotherhood. Heartspeak has filmed seminars, workshops, lectures, circles and interviews and shares them through social media and on DVD through public libraries. They are truly heartened when folks get together, watch the videos, discuss the material and take action in their communities. Larry was the 2014 winner of the National Ron Wiebe Restorative Justice Award. In 2013, Larry and Cathie were winners of the Hummingbird Award Simon Fraser University and John Howard Society, and the 2013 winners of the Crime Prevention Media Award from the Victim Services and Crime Prevention Division of the BC Ministry of Justice

I've read 2 of 19 short stories so far. It's... different. I love her writing style, and I love the way she creates her characters, even if those characters are themselves not very likeable. But both stories don't *feel* like complete short stories. They're more like fragments of stories - longer than flash fiction, but incomplete. It's a little maddening. And I'm not entirely certain what the point is of these stories. If they have a point?
Curly Red: Being exiled from a family of terrible people is worse than being a terrible person to belong?
In Hiding: A woman can comfortably expose herself through her poetry while hiding from real people when they seek her out?
To be continued...

|DO NOT REPLY [Bug 31286] - Memory leaks in JBoss due to LogFactory cache

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, BUT PLEASE POST YOUR BUG RELATED COMMENTS THROUGH THE WEB INTERFACE AVAILABLE AT <http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31286>. ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE. http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31286 Memory leaks in JBoss due to LogFactory cache ------- Additional Comments From firstname.lastname@example.com 2004-11-10 23:05 ------- I've checked in my changes. I'm going to leave the documentation for another day. The idea is that the Hashtable implementation can be specified by a system property and (when the class is found on the classpath) defaults to the optional WeakHashtable. The idea is that a user (on a 1.3+ JVM) should be able to drop in the commons-logging-optional.jar and have the classloaders garbaged collectable without further changes. This is going to need some testing. I've added a few tests (if anyone wants to add more, please go ahead :) I'll probably post something on the lists tomorrow. BTW Brian, I'm happy to add your name to the contributors and/or author tags if that is your wish. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Children are divided into three groups.
Pre-K and K
1st - 3rd grade students
4th - 6th grade students
When children finish up their 6th grade year with us, we desire for them to know 3 basic truths:
- I need to make wise choices
- I can trust God no matter what
- I should treat others the way I want to be treated
Each month we focus in on a new character quality that was modeled by Jesus. KidsQuest takes place every Wednesday night from September through April. To get a taste of what we talk about at KidsQuest check out this monthly theme video on GENEROSITY.

To attract customers in Manuelito, NM you should focus on
- High-earning individuals or families with a considerable sum of disposable pay but inadequate period in which to use it. This purchaser set includes the mounting number of single householders, as well as dual-wages household groups.
- Commerce people on cost accounts to boost lunchtime custom as well as evening meals. The value of this market often tends to go along the wider fluctuations in neighborhood companies.
- Tourists are of great importance for many restaurants in the vicinity. At all times remember that visitor statistics to Manuelito come and go according to the seasons, and winter, specifically, could see poorer business.
- Kids. The affect of children has created a sizeable market unit that impacts on family choice for meals. This has been quickly picked up on by the large conglomerates who, led by the burger chains, target offspring through their marketing.
- Working women. Married women partake more than sixty percent of all household tasks, so easy access to meals is welcomed as one fewer errand to undertake. Price tends to be a major issue affecting the preference of this grouping, alongside the class of the food.

The words above is Baizuo. It is a popular insult used on the Chinese internet.
The first word is "Bai" which means "white". The second word is "Zuo". It means "left". Put them together it means, "white leftist", which is deemed to be terribly insulting. See this article:
The curious rise of the "white left" as a Chinese internet insult.
Excerpt from link:
It is not curious or surprising to me what Chinese people think badly of western leftists. The article goes on to offer their reasons why they think Chinese people are growing contemptuous to the western left. You are welcome to read it but here is my take on why Chinese people think poorly of the western left.Although the emphasis varies, baizuo is used generally to describe those who "only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment" and "have no sense of real problems in the real world"; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to "satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority"; they are "obsessed with political correctness" to the extent that they "tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism"; they believe in the welfare state that "benefits only the idle and the free riders"; they are the "ignorant and arrogant westerners" who "pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours".
It's because the western left is dumb, that's why. Chinese people are realistic, hard-headed people. When they see how ridiculous the ideas of the western left are, they shake their heads in contempt. The left's ideas do not work. They endanger western civilization by accepting Muslim immigrants and weaken their society with the welfare state.
Congratulations, western leftists. You have become a term of insult in Chinese debating forums. Only they call you 'white leftists'. But I know what they mean. Anytime a Chinese want to insult another, he calls him, "a white leftist."
Here is another, interesting excerpt from the same article:
The Chinese like Donald Trump. They see him as a real man.If criticisms of the 'white left' in the context of the refugee crisis were mainly about disapproval of 'moralist humanitarianism' mixed with Islamophobia, they became politically more elaborate as Chinese critics of the 'white left' discovered Donald J. Trump, whom they both identify with and take inspirations from.
Baizuo critics now began to identify Obama and Clinton as the new epitome of the 'white left',
They see oBUMa as a superwimp.Trump was taken as the champion of everything the 'white left' were against, and baizuo critics naturally became his enthusiastic supporters.

"i got a plan to get us out of here"
"Looking Back"
I've spent the last couple of weeks doing some thinking and have reached the decision that Furillen has gone as far as I want to take it. I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing this space with so many interesting people, and will remember the events held at the sim for a long time. There is no reason behind this decision other than the simple fact that I'd like to spend time doing other things. Many thanks to all of you who have visited the sim and contributed to its upkeep in direct and not so direct ways. Thanks also to readers of this blog. All in all, it has been great fun …
… but now you know why I built that EXIT door …
So that's it. Let me finish with the song that, for me, defined what Furillen meant to many of us …
Goodbye !!

Liquid crystal display or LCD digital screens are made up of tiny liquid crystals (LCs) that shine either red, green or blue light (RGB). Digital images also use pixels, but use a wider palette of colours. Internet images such as jpgs or gifs work with 256 web colours to create all the images, illustrations and web content online. Pixels work on a simple grid format with lines of equally-sized squares. The blending of the colours takes place visually, with pixels being too small to be easily seen by the naked eye.
In the early days of digital images pixels and the rough edges they create were more evident and consequently more a part of the visual language of computers. Certainly early computer games had this very squared, pixelated feel to them and many artists and illustrators used this way of working to represent the digital.
Using a grid format of pixels, create a series of illustrations that explores your relationship to digital technologies. This might be a love or hate relationship, a document of all the forms of technology you engage with, the games you've played or pixel portraits of your friends on Facebook. Be imaginative with how you approach this.
You may want to work on graph paper or create your own grid on the computer or by hand. The size of your pixels is up to you. For example the animation DEADLINE (available via YouTube) uses post-it notes as pixels. But stick to the rule of only using one colour per square. You may want to limit your palette or perhaps work in full colour.
My relationship with digital media is mostly a very positive one – it enables rapid and cost-free exploration of multiple possibilities and interpretations through changing colours, blending modes and so on (See my discussion in the Review for part 6 of this course). At the same time I suffer from RSI with overuse and am aware of the effects on both eyes and posture.
I am also very interested in the wider positive and negative effects of the spread of the Internet on social, political and economic life.When I started to think about this project in January 2017 there was an interesting debate on Al Jazeera on the effects of Digital media on political processes and democracy. This started with the Arab Spring, then Trump and more recently with Jeremy Corbyn. See Post Digital Dissidence and Democracy
I saw this project as an interesting way of bringing together these issues, focusing particularly on ways of abstracting the figure, characterisation and relationships through altering patterns and colours of squares using Vector Art. I started to look at this using icons in Book Design 1 Identity . I am also exploring the ways in which the brain groups and interpretes dots as faces in some of my media experiments with blobs (See some of my work on Hybrids in Part 1)
This would have been possible using Illustrator (See tutorials on my Pixel Art post). But because of my issues with RSI sitting too long at my computer, I decided to use an App called Vector Illustration on my iPad. This needed me to follow the same process of setting up a grid, then selecting and changing the fill in squares. The images can be exported as jpg, png, svg or pdf to Dropbox, as e-mail, or to iTunes (though I could not find these last on my iPad???). Incidentally, the Ap also displayed one of the annoying downsides of digital media – the fact that export to Dropbox would be discontinued after June 28th 2017 because of incompatibility with a Dropbox upgrade – Grrrr….Adding a sense of urgency in a fast-moving world. But the svg files can be imported into Illustrator and edited for further development.
I started by doing a mindmap in my notebook (need to transfer this to something other people can read and understand)
Exploration of abstract pixel characterisation
1) Gender, age and mood from simple mid grey
2) Different cultures
3) Relationships
Promotes understanding between cultures and generations
But can get complicated
Having transferred now to Illustrator I am planning to explore these different ideas and relationships further, including much darker sides of grooming and sexting. But I need to give work at my pc a rest because of RSI. I also want to do some experimentation with Photoshop pixel art.

Senator Jon Tester (D-Mont.) says more gun control would not have prevented the heinous December 2012 attack on Sandy Hook Elementary.
He specifically points to the kinds of gun controls pushed by Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), controls that would have expanded background checks to every gun sale–retail and private. Tester said, "The gun restrictions that were talked about putting on would not have kept the guns out of that clown's hands that was in Sandy Hook."
According to the New York Daily News, Tester said it is clear more gun control would have failed in that instance and "there are no if, ands, or buts about it."
Tester's position is easy to understand if you keep in mind the fact that the Sandy Hook gunman–Adam Lanza–stole his guns. Moreover, background checks were already required for retail sales, but Lanza avoided them by acquiring his guns illegally.
Ironically, Senator Manchin made the same admission three days before expanded background checks were defeated in the Democrat-controlled Senate in 2013. On April 14, 2013, Manchin observed that his gun controls would not have prevented Sandy Hook, but he was pushing them anyway because the families of Sandy Hook victims wanted action.

Bipolar Disorder
Written by: Ashley Gilmour
Clinical Psychologist
Bipolar Disorder is a serious mental health condition that is often
misunderstood and confused with emotional dysregulation.
Read below to learn more about the features of Bipolar Disorder and treatments available.
It is a common misconception among the community that a 'Bipolar Disorder' (which was formerly called 'manic-depressive disorder' in the 19th century) is the experience of mood instability (referred to as mood lability), where you might be feeling happy then sad, then angry and the moods change fairly quickly etc. However, Bipolar Disorder is much different. Bipolar disorderis a serious mental health condition that consists of manic or hypomanic episodes, and depressive episodes which causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, behaviour, thought patterns, and at times changes to perceptual disturbances, which results in difficulty in the person's ability to carry out their usual day-to-day tasks.
Bipolar Affective Disordersaffect approximately 1-5% of Australians in their lifetime, and this condition is reported to often go undiagnosed for approximately 10-20 years from onset of the first mood episode. This is typically because people with Bipolar Disorders tend to only seek treatment when they are experiencing a depressive episode, however do not tend to seek treatment when they are experiencing a manic or hypomanic episode for a few reasons: during a manic or hypomanic episode, there tends to be a lack of insight by the individual that they are unwell, even if family, friends or others raise concern about their mental wellbeing; the manic or hypomanic episode can at times be a pleasant experience to the sufferer when their mood is euphoric that they do not tend to want to seek help.
Bipolar Disorders average age of onset is late teens to mid-20's, however onset can also occur in childhood. Majority of people with Bipolar Disorder tend to experience more than one mood episode in their lifetime.
Clinical depression is classified as a Mood Disorder and is also referred to as 'Unipolar Depression' to differentiate it from 'Bipolar Affective Disorder' (also known as Bipolar Disorder, Bipolar Depression, and the older term Manic Depression). For some people, their depressive symptoms remain at a sub-clinical severity which means that they experience some depressive symptoms, but the range, severity and/or duration of their depressive symptoms is not severe enough to be classified as a clinical depression.
There are a few different types of Bipolar Disorders, which either comprise of manic episodes or hypomanic episodes, and major depressive episodes. Many of the symptoms of manic and hypomanic episodes are similar, however the required symptoms, severity and duration of symptoms, and impairment in functioning will determine whether the episode is a manic episode or a hypomanic episode, and thus will determine the type of Bipolar Disorder that is diagnosed. The main types of Bipolar Disorder are:
- Bipolar I Disorder
- Bipolar II Disorder
- Cyclothymic Disorder
Symptoms of a manic & hypomanic episodes can include:
- A persistent happy or euphoric mood that is markedly different from usual and is an excessive reaction to a positive situation
- A distinct period of irritable mood that persists
- Increased engagement in activities, such as taking on new projects
- Not completing projects that you have started
- Inflated sense of self-esteem or feeling 'grandiose' (increase in confidence)
- Talking much faster than usual or feeling a pressure to keep talking
- Having racing thoughts and jumping from one idea to another that people tend to find it difficult to follow what you are talking about
- Being easily distracted to things that are not important
- Being overly restless and agitated
- Sleeping little or not being tired even with very little sleep (e.g., feeling rested after 3 hours of sleep)
- Increase in engagement in purposeless activity with no clear direction or plan
- Behaving impulsively and engaging in pleasurable, high-risk behaviorswithout regard for the damage that these behaviours could cause to self or
- others (e.g., excessive spending sprees, indiscriminate sexual encounters)
- Daily hygiene can also change such as not showering, brushing teeth
- The person can also become itinerant during this time e.g., leaving town without any plan
- Psychotic symptoms (delusions) can also at times be present
Symptoms of depression or a depressive episode include:
- An overly long period of feeling depressed, sad or hopeless
- Tearful more than usual
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, including intimacy.
- Feeling tired or "slowed down"
- Sleep disturbance
- Appetite disturbance
- Having problems concentrating, remembering, and making decisions
- Being restless or irritable
- Feeling worthless
- Thinking of death or suicide, or attempting suicide.

What is a delusion? This is a false belief that a person holds as 100% truth while at the same time is not subject to reason or contradictory evidence and is not explained by a person's usual cultural and religious concepts. A delusion may be firmly maintained in the face of irrefutable evidence that the belief is false.
Common types of delusions that can occur during a manic episode are:
- Grandiose delusions:
In this type of delusion the person believes that they possess special and unique gifts or powers that others do not have, or that they have access to information that is hidden from others. This type of delusion is the most characteristic of a mania and is said to be 'mood congruent'.
Examples: Having a belief that they are a king, are really Jesus, or that they can cure the sick, that they are a multi-millionaire, or a world-known artist, or that they have the power of telepathy.
- Persecutory delusions:
In this type of delusion the person believes that people are after him or her to harm themselves or to someone they know in some kind of way. Although it can occur in mania, this type of delusion can also be seen in other psychotic illnesses and is therefore not diagnostic of bipolar disorder per se.
Example: Believing people are following them as they walk down the street, or that someone is out to hurt them or someone they know.
- Paranoia
Paranoia is an unfounded or exaggerated distrust of others, sometimes reaching delusional proportions. Paranoid individuals constantly suspect the motives of those around them. In mania, these individuals may tend to have paranoia about other people having doubt about their capabilities or accomplishments.
The exact causes of Bipolar Disorders is not known. However research indicates this condition is due to an interaction between faulty neurobiological systems (e.g., neurotransmitters which are our chemicals in our brain), genetic vulnerability, environmental factors (e.g., stressors such as financial, divorce). Bipolar Disorder can be triggered by life stressors.
Bipolar Disorder Treatment
Treatment of Bipolar Disorder is more about management to minimize the severity and frequency of mood episodes, rather than curing, due to the biochemical nature of the condition. It is important to form a good team of practitioners as part of your treatment including a: Clinical Psychologist, Psychiatrist, GP and social support services.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Initial treatment.Often, you'll need to commence mood stabilising medications to balance your moods right away. Once your symptoms are under control, you'll work with your doctor to plan on-going maintenance treatment to prevent relapse.
- Continued treatment.Bipolar disorder requires lifelong treatment with a Clinical Psychologist, Psychiatrist, and GP, even during periods when you feel better. Maintenance treatment is used to manage bipolar disorder on a long-term basis. People who do not participate in maintenance treatment are at high risk of a relapse of symptoms or having minor mood changes turn into full-blown mania or depression.
- Substance abuse treatment.If you have problems with alcohol or drugs, substance abuse treatment will also be important, otherwise it can be very difficult to manage Bipolar Disorder.
- Your doctor may recommend hospitalisation if you are behaving dangerously, you feel suicidal or you become detached from reality (psychotic). Getting psychiatric treatment at a hospital can help keep you calm and safe and stabilise your mood, whether you're having a manic or major depressive episode.
An effective maintenance treatment plan usually involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy.
If you know someone who is manifesting the symptoms mentioned, the most important action you can do to help them is to guide them the right diagnosis and treatment. If you yourself have an existing diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder, on-going maintenance with a Clinical Psychologist to prevent relapse is also important.
Here at Vitality Unleashed Psychology, Ashley Gilmour, Clinical Psychologist is trained in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of Bipolar Disorder, and we are able to help you manage your symptoms with an evidenced-based psychological approach.

The Nerf Bat
Harmless, indoor fun. Hasbro's gift to mothers everywhere. This foamy, soft-to-the-touch, alternate-universe version of normally-painful objects is the perfect metaphor for describing what developers do to "overpowered" characters. "Poof! You're now a harmless orange fuzz." The City of Heroes developers created a little purple pill, a "Break-Free Inspiration" in City of Heroes speak, that can be taken by a player after they've come under a status effect. This, coupled with other, equally insidious "fixes" really put the fix in for Ayn's role in the PvP arena. Months of decisions and tactics, honed under a single set of rules, were now rendered useless by the whims of the development team.
Anyone who's ever read an interview with Warren Spector has come across the term, "emergent gameplay." The concept is pretty simple: gamers create their own gameplay experience as they learn the rules and environment of the game. These player-minted gameplay styles may not have even been foreseen by the developers, and wise developers such as Mr. Spector nourish this creativity in the games they produce. Micro managing control-freak developers with no respect for the countless hours invested by their customers, on the other hand, wield the nerf bat.
A creative environment in a virtual game world, or in the real world for that matter, cannot flourish unless the rules of that world are not in constant flux. Creativity (real creativity, not the kind where a hippie throws some paint on a canvas and feels the meaning) is largely a process of problem-solving, and changing the rules of the game renders a once-creative solution impotent. This sticks a pin in the joy balloon of the gamer who has mastered his own personal solution and is the primary cause of endless gnashing of teeth on message boards. Not only is much hard work lost, but so is any desire to initiate a new round of creative thinking for fear that a similar storm of whim will wipe clean what is about to be built as well.
Still, City of Heroes is not unique in this regard and, as witnessed by my Doom 3 walkthrough delay, it's a lot of fun to play. I'd be remiss if I didn't credit the developers with producing a fresh, fun and rewarding gaming experience. They just need to stop it already with the rule changes. Disappointments aside, it wasn't long before I reached the level 50 pinnacle that is the closest thing to an end-game offered by this genre, and it was now time to look for a new diversion.
Everquest 2
Well I'm really in it now. Everquest is the online RPG of online RPGs. We're talking Elves, Dark Elves, Half Elves, Wood Elves and someday likely Elven Elves.
- Mike Mangold - 09/17/2005
My Year in Online RPGs (Part One)
So if there's one email that I get more frequently than any other, it definitely starts like this, "Hey Mike -- great site! It really helped me a lot with game xxx, but when are you going to do a walkthrough for yyy?"
Well, this past year I've gotten a lot of those emails, because I've spent the majority of my gaming time in online RPGs. Another acronym for these types of games is the ridiculously-long MMORPG, for massively multiplayer online role playing game. Only virtual-katana-wielding digit heads would allow such a massively multicharacter acronym to take hold. These games have their origins in tabletop games such as Dungeons and Dragons, resembling, at least physically, Monopoly and Clue more than Pong or Battlezone.
I never much felt the pull of these games, although I'm pretty much in the bull's eye of the target demographic. Male, majored in Computer Science, minored in math, not much into sports and still beholden to Captain Kirk as my Greatest American Hero. Yet, it's no surprise that the geek community is tragically splintered into two distinct factions: Science Fiction; and, Fantasy. I am squarely in the sci-fi camp, having a fascination for technology and The Future: bright, shiny acrylic-white with talking computers refusing to let me back in through the pod bay doors. Pods. Mmmm, lots of pods. Alternately, those musty, moss-covered dungeons of the fantasy faction, with their talking unicorns and penchant for mysticism just don't cut it for me. Not by a long shot.
City of Heroes
It only makes sense, then, that my first foray into online RPGs would be something completely devoid of elves and ogres. City of Heroes pulled me into its virtual world nearly five months after the April, 2004 release. My main character, "Main" for short -- other alternate, ancillary characters are called, "alts" -- was to be true to my libertarian ideals, and named Ms. Ayn Rand. A Mind Controller, she would specialize in status effects, powers that disable a foe, rendering him a worthless minion, battling his own demons rather than me and my allies. The primary appeal of RPGs over other types of gaming is the act of creating a back story, the "role" in "role playing," and here is the back story I created for Ms. Ayn Rand.
Playing this character has been so much fun that she can single-handedly be blamed for delaying the Doom 3 walkthrough a good three months. Ayn's mind control powers allow her to give mind-splitting headaches to a large group of enemies, stopping them in their tracks. Likewise, she can put a second group of bad guys to sleep, and confuse a third group of foes into fighting each other while a fourth cower in fear. Brilliant!
The downside? Mind Controllers don't really inflict that much damage. Fighting solo as a Mind Controller has been described as "whittling," and that's exactly what it feels like as you slowly shave tiny bits of hit points off your opponent over time. A long time. "Don't worry," I was frequently told, "when PvP comes out you're going to rock."
PvP is player vs. player in online-speak. City of Heroes was initially PvE-only, or player versus environment combat, in which all the real-life human players fight cooperatively against their server-generated opponents (the "environment.") It was anticipated that when PvP was introduced to City of Heroes, Mind Controllers would be the ultimate challenge; you can't defeat an enemy when you're snoozing or in the grip of a controller-induced migraine. Ah, but it was not to be. This brings me to the biggest complaint I've come to have with online RPGs: the developers keep changing the rules!

By this afternoon, we will see over over 40 aspiring ladies achieve their dream of making it into the big league that is the AFLW. Today on Bulldogs Centre, with the AFLW draft just hours away, I reveal the the our version of the Mock Draft, covering just the first two rounds - that is the top 16 picks of the Draft.
It must be pointed out that each club has a specific pool of players to draft from, with each lady nominating their preferred zone. Adelaide will draft from the players who have requested to be in the South Australia/Northern Territory zone, Brisbane will draft from the Queensland zone, Fremantle from the Western Australia zone, GWS from the NSW zone and the four Victorian clubs will draft from the Victorian pool
Plenty of questions surround the AFLW Draft: Which female players will get drafted? Which of them will miss out? However, the question that will be undoubtedly be on the minds of many, will be who the Western Bulldogs select with the first overall pick.
With picks one, four and 11 within the first two rounds, The Bulldogs go into the draft with a very good hand and it'll be interesting to see who they will select at number one.
Will it be Chloe Molloy, who proved she could mix it with the older bodies in state level or could it be the ultra-talented forwarda Isabel Huntington, who despite her knee issues, has all the talent to succeed at the top level? Could we see the Dogs make a surprise selection and take gun midfielder Darcy Guttridge? or maybe even the electric Monique Conti?
This is my 2017 AFLW Mock Draft
The First Round
Pick 1: Western Bulldogs - Chloe Molloy (Calder Cannons/Diamond Creek) - Forward
Following the conclusion of the 2017 AFLW season, Chloe Molloy has been the talk of women's footy all year round, and it won't shock me in the least to see her be snapped up by the Bulldogs at pick one. The Bulldogs struggled to kick goals without Katie Brennan last year and Molloy has proved time and time again this year that she can find the big sticks. She dominated the TAC Cup this year, leading the league in goals and was one of two young ladies to take home the league's best and fairest. She took her form into the VFLW, winning the league's Rising Star competition and kicked 32 goals to share the league's leading goal-kicker award alongside potential team mate Katie Brennan.
Click Here - Why I think Chloe Molloy can break the AFLW
Pick 2: Fremantle - Emily McGuire (Swan Districts) - Forward
Key forwards is what the Dockers are looking for after a dismal 2017 season and they should get one here with, perhaps one of the best indigenous players to come out of this year's draft class, Emily McGuire is a very powerful player and whilst the Dockers will be rueing the fact that they missed out on WA-girl Kate Bartlett to GWS, they will still have a more-than-capable goal-kicker in McGuire here at pick two. In 2017, she featured in the Swan Districts' premiership side in the WAWFL, kicking 13 goals in 13 matches. Scouts have highlighted that she is extremely mobile for someone her size and has an uncanny ability to kick goals from anywhere inside the arc.
Pick 3: Collingwood - Isabel Huntington (Sandringham Dragons/Melbourne Uni) - Forward
If Molloy doesn't go number one, then it will most likely be Huntington that gets it, such is her talent. A ruptured ACL last year meant that Huntington missed all of this year, which may have just cost her going at number one, but before the injury, Huntington was looming as a strong candidate for the number one pick. She can play the full-forward role superbly, dominating the 2016 youth girls' national championships and has even shown that she can play midfield, which would be what the Pies do need considering that there is no standout midfielder in the Collingwood side. Whether it is Molloy or Huntington here, the Pies are perfectly placed to nab a star with the third pick.
Pick 4: Western Bulldogs - Darcy Guttridge (Gippsland Power/Cranbourne) - Defender/Midfield)
With the Bulldogs forward line woes addressed for the moment, the focus should shift into getting a midfielder that can help out star duo Emma Kearney and Ellie Blackburn. With this pick, the Dogs should be looking at Darcy Guttridge, who was named the captain of the AFLW under-18 side. Seen as an intercept-marking defender who can also run and display sharp skills by hand or by foot, Guttridge has also already tasted senior experience, playing eight games for Cranbourne in the VFLW, and also was their best player in two of those eight games, which does speak volumes in where she is heading as a player. Expect her to start in defence, but with time, she will blossom into a star midfielder.
Pick 5: GWS - Kate Bartlett (Peel Thunderbirds) - Forward
I don't know how they managed it, but Greater Western Sydney have managed to snare a very talented key forward in Kate Bartlett, who I believe will work very well in tandem with Phoebe McWilliams and Rebecca Beeson, who emerged as the Giants' most dangerous players up forward. Bartlett proved to be the focal point up forward for Western Australia during the AFLW's Under-18 National Championships, kicking 13 goals in just five games, including a bag of seven goals in one game. She also has a small dose of senior experience under her belt, kicking 13 goals in just six games for the Thunderbirds in the WAWFL. The Giants should be very delighted with this acquisition.
Pick 6: Melbourne - Monique Conti (Calder Cannons/Melbourne Uni) - Midfielder
This is the most interesting pick in the draft for mine, as Monique Conti has all the tools to become a very damaging midfielder in the competition. She has incredible pace and her athleticism is first-rate, but the problem is that she is still relatively new to the game of Aussie Rules Football, having jumped over from Basketball ahead of the 2017 TAC Cup, to which she finished inside the top 10 in the competition's best and fairest. With her elite Basketball background, Conti has all the makings to be a superstar player, and if taken by the Demons, she will be working under some elite company, as she will be working under the tutelage of Daisy Pearce, Karen Paxman and Elise O'Dea - the big three inside Melbourne's engine room.
Pick 7: Brisbane - Kalinda Howarth (Coolangatta) - Forward
With Brisbane losing young gun Tayla Harris to Carlton, it would be no shock to see Brisbane pick up Kalinda Howarth - a promising mid-sized forward, who despite having strong ties with the Gold Coast Suns, will be a very adequate replacement for Harris. PLaying for Coolangatta in the QWAFL, she blitzed the competition by kicking 45 goals in 16 games in the 2016 season and played a pivotal role in Coolangatta's premiership win, kicking three goals in the Grand Final that was decided by just two points. The scouting report says that Howarth boasts a strong overhead mark, has elite evasive skills and is extremely confident in front of goal.
Pick 8: Adelaide - Eloise Jones (Morphettville Park/Glenelg) - Midfielder
Already boasting a midfield that has the AFLW's best and fairest Erin Phillips and the AFLW's Rising Star winner Ebony Marinoff, Eloise Jones could definitely add another element to a premiership-winning midfield brigade. Her ability to win the ball in tight spaces is well documented, as she dominated the under-18s league and as an added bonus to her game, she is more than capable of kicking goals, booting six goals in five senior SANFL Women's games this season. Her ability to slot goals will most likely see her play off half-forward in the 2018 season, but she will be a very good player in years to come.
The Second Round
Pick 9: Collingwood - Bridie Kennedy (Dandenong Stingrays/Cranbourne) - Ruck/Defender
It must be pointed out that Bridie Kennedy shared the TAC Cup best and fairest award with Chloe Molloy, but it's fair to say the spotlight has been less focussed on Kennedy, but it is also fair to say that she is a very fantastic prospect in her own right. After dominating in the ruck for Dandenong in the TAC Cup, Kennedy played nine games for Cranbourne in the VFLW, and developed quite nicely as a defender, and with Collingwood offloading their best defender in Nicola Stevens this past off-season, Kennedy should be picked up here and slot in quite nicely in defence, although it's not out of the question that she will split ruck duties with All-Australia ruck Emma King.
Pick 10: Fremantle - Tayla McAuliffe (Swan Districts) - Ruck/Forward
Fremantle should complete their search for key forwards here with the recruiting of Tayla McAuliffe, who is perhaps one of the better big women in the draft class. As a ruckwoman, who can also play forward, McAuliffe featured in the Swan Districts 2017 premiership team in the WAWFL, and played 13 games for the Districts this season. Her competitiveness is a real hallmark of her game as she loves to tackle and doesn't hesitate to go in hard for the ball, as well as her aggressive nature for the footy, she is very good at picking the ball up below her knees and her elite athleticism should see her in the Dockers' best 22.
Pick 11: Western Bulldogs - Eden Zanker (Bendigo Pioneers/Woorineen) - Forward
This is a pick I'm genuinely excited about. Not much was known about Bendigo Pioneers product Eden Zanker ahead of the 2017 TAC Cup women's league, but once it concluded, her name started to float around a serious draft possibility. Zanker played four of five games for the Pioneers and seriously impressed with her marking ability and extraordinary leaping ability. Scouts describe Zanker as a natural footballer despite her time away from the game. If available at pick 11, the Dogs must pounce and they will have two potential star forwards alongside Katie Brennan ahead of the 2018 season, and that will make things very very dangerous for the Bulldogs.
Pick 12: Carlton - Sophie Abbatangelo (Diamond Creek) - Forward
A mature-aged prospect who was once an ice-hockey player, 27-year old Sophie Abbatangelo enjoyed a superb first year in the VFLW for Diamond Creek, kicking 15 goals in 15 games and thrived as a small forward option for the Creekers. Her impact in the VFLW Grand Final was enormous, kicking two goals on either side of three-quarter time to keep the Creekers alive when the game was Darebin's for the taking. Carlton would love another dangerous forward to aide recruit Tayla Harris and the AFLW's leading goal kicker from this season in Darcy Vescio, and adding Abbatangelo to an already potent forward line is a very dangerous thought for rival clubs.
Pick 13: Collingwood - Ashleigh Riddell (Diamond Creek) - Midfielder
As it stood at the conclusion of the 2017 AFLW season, Collingwood's best midfielder left the club to go join Greater Western Sydney, leaving the Pies with a huge gap in the midfield as they have no superstars in their team like Ellie Blackburn is to the Bulldogs, Daisy Pearce is to Melbourne or Brianna Davey to Carlton. 21-year old Ashleigh Riddell may not solve the superstar midfield problem that Collingwood has, but she'll definitely help them a bit. Her ability to win clearances and contested ball is very well documented and Collingwood would very much welcome her into the midfield brigade straight away.
Pick 14: Melbourne - Jenna Bruton (St. Kilda Sharks) - Midfielder
22-year old Jenna Bruton has a very bright future in women's football ahead and having experienced glimpses of AFL-calibre footy, having played for Melbourne in exhibition matches in the past, Bruton would be a very handy pick-up for any AFLW side. After briefly stepping away from the game, Bruton came back bigger and better than ever for St. Kilda in the 2017 VFLW season, finding herself in the Sharks' better players most weeks, and would take home their best and fairest award. The recruitment of Bruton to Melbourne would only enhance the Demons' midfield depth, given they already possess extraordinary talent.
Pick 15: Brisbane - Jordan Zanchetta (Yeronga South Brisbane) - Midfielder
Jordan Zanchetta could very easily be Brisbane's first choice in the draft, but because of an ACL injury sustained last year, Zanchetta missed a lot of footy in 2017, but did manage to play six games for Yeronga this year, including their Grand Final triumph. Scouts describe Zanchetta as a midfielder who is extremely tough-as-nails and is perhaps one of Queensland's best draft prospects of this year's draft pool. When fully fit, Zanchetta can be a very elite inside midfielder and at 22 years of age, has plenty of time to become a force in an already talented Brisbane midfield.
Pick 16: Adelaide - Jess Allan (Salisbury/Glenelg) - Ruck
This is going to be a very interesting dilemma for the Crows as they already have a solid ruck in Rhiannon Metcalfe, but it is going to be very hard for the Crows to pass up arguably one of the best rucks in the draft in Jess Allan. At 182 centimetres tall, Allan has an extraordinary leap, which was on full display at the draft combine, beating everyone at the combine in both running and standing vertical jump. She's not bad on the field either, with her tap work at an elite level. She was vice-captain of the Under-18 National All-Australian Team and could hold her own against older bodies as she featured in Salisbury's best more often than when she played in the Adelaide Women's Footy League.

|White matter (WM) mapping of the human brain using neuroimaging techniques has gained considerable interest in the neuroscience community. Using diffusion weighted (DWI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), WM fiber pathways between brain regions may be systematically assessed to make inferences concerning their role in normal brain function, influence on behavior, as well as concerning the consequences of network-level brain damage. In this paper, we investigate the detailed connectomics in a noted example of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) which has proved important to and controversial in the history of neuroscience. We model the WM damage in the notable case of Phineas P. Gage, in whom a "tamping iron" was accidentally shot through his skull and brain, resulting in profound behavioral changes. The specific effects of this injury on Mr. Gage's WM connectivity have not previously been considered in detail. Using computed tomography (CT) image data of the Gage skull in conjunction with modern anatomical MRI and diffusion imaging data obtained in contemporary right handed male subjects (aged 25–36), we computationally simulate the passage of the iron through the skull on the basis of reported and observed skull fiducial landmarks and assess the extent of cortical gray matter (GM) and WM damage. Specifically, we find that while considerable damage was, indeed, localized to the left frontal cortex, the impact on measures of network connectedness between directly affected and other brain areas was profound, widespread, and a probable contributor to both the reported acute as well as long-term behavioral changes. Yet, while significantly affecting several likely network hubs, damage to Mr. Gage's WM network may not have been more severe than expected from that of a similarly sized "average" brain lesion. These results provide new insight into the remarkable brain injury experienced by this noteworthy patient.

Arsene Wenger may have hinted that he's willing to sell Alexis Sanchez this January if he can find a replacement but he insists that he doesn't question the player's passion when he's on the pitch.
The Chile international is rumoured to be the subject of approaches from both Manchester City and Manchester United and could be tempted to cash in for around £25 million knowing the striker will likely leave on a free in the summer.
Against the backdrop of constant speculation, Alexis started Tuesday's game against Chelsea on the bench despite questions over Alexandre Lacazette's fitness.
"Look, I don't question Alexis' passion," said Wenger ahead of Sunday's trip to Bournemouth.
"When he's on the football pitch he wants to win, he's committed.
"I had many conversations about him and we talked about the fact that people are always observing you with a microscope when you're on a short-term contract, but I've never questioned his professional attitude when he's on the football pitch.
"Alexis wants to win. When he shows frustration, it's because we didn't win."
He added: "He is always fully committed. He never had any problem through his attitude or his commitment."

For Australia, the first years of the Second World War were spent fighting alongside British forces in Europe, North Africa and in the Mediterranean. Japanese attacks on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and subsequent advances throughout the Asia-Pacific region brought war much closer to home than ever before.
The fall of Singapore followed by the bombing of Darwin and submarine attacks in Sydney Harbour in 1942, confirmed that our homeland was a strategic target for Japanese forces in the region. Fighting back, many Australian servicemen and women helped stop the advance of Axis powers in the Pacific.

Sober Coaching in The Press
How long does it take? Every client is different.
Every addict carries individualized needs, goals and dreams.
Instead of the boilerplate approach usually offered in residential addiction treatment settings, we individualize each person's treatment program.
Many residential facilities claim to individualize each resident's care.
To their credit, some of them do the best job possible individualizing care for special clients.
Unfortunately – even at the highest levels of residential care – treatment is provided en masse.
Though sessions often happen one-on-one with an individual therapist, most treatment is delivered to a number of clients simultaneously.
Meals, process groups, 12-Step panels from the outside, trips to 12-Step groups on the outside, "sober fun", equine therapy, roommates…
It all happens in a group of very sick people. And each of these exerts multiple hours of undue influence on the others.
Clients who benefit most from Sober Coaching are those who have experienced multiple trips to rehab and who have not yet been able to maintain substantial recovery outside a facility.
These addicts and alcoholics rarely achieve desired results from one more trip to rehab.
The 12 Step rooms of recovery are filled with people who have attempted residential treatment 10, 20, 30 times – or more. It's not that residential treatment doesn't work...
Simply stated: not all addicts respond to treatment as desired. That's it. It took the founder of Sober Champion 6 attempts at residential treatment – and lots of trips to jailhouses – and the threat of eight years in prison – to finally become abstinent long enough to lose the desire to use and find a new way to live.
It doesn't have to be this way for you or your loved one. You have the opportunity to declare a bottom instead of hitting a new one.
Take this opportunity to honestly assess the value of another trip to rehab.
Are you sending off your addict because you're sick of their stories and rackets – or do you want a solution?
Is your addict willing to attempt treatment again because he knows it will get you off his back – or does he want to stop using, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live?
If residential addiction treatment has not proved effective, it is time to start thinking outside the detox box.
Contact Sober Champion to see if you are ready for us.

Kill'em All Conservatism
Published by Ann Hendon on September 17, 2010
What is it about the modern so-called conservatives that makes them so bloodthirsty?
by Richard Hoste
RICHARD SPENCER and Robert Burnham's Facebook conversation is pretty frightening, but I must say that it pales in comparison to a recent Free Republic thread about Julian Assange. A commentator recommends the government go after the man's family and when someone objects he's shouted down as a liberal commie.
Some other representative suggestions.
"His head would look good on a pike."
"He truly needs to be carbombed…"
"Surely someone in our DOD can take this pipsqueak out. We have killed better men for less in the past."
"I support a CIA covert operation to coat his butt-plug with arsenic. ARSEnic…get it? (too strong? sorry.)"
"This truly has become deadly serious. He needs to be taken out. No internet bravado here, our government or allies need to act and end this. I don't know if our various agencies can act on their own, but if they can, I hope they do soon."
"$200 for a bullet between that mother effer's eyes."
All this hatred, and for what? Ten years ago a couple fanatics killed three thousand Americans. Every death is a tragedy, but the US has sinned against the Muslim world much more than it's been sinned against. Half a million Iraqis died due to US sanctions and then another half million thanks to the war. Yet if any Muslim in the world talks like these so-called patriotic citizens do it's proof of the inherent depravity of the religion.
What's really scary is speculating on what Republicans would advocate if there actually was a terrorist problem-this is, if the murder rate for Muslims ever reached 50% of what it is for Americans blacks or people of the Islamic faith ever managed to kill 1/10th as many people as the US murders overseas. They already defend the right of the president to murder anyone whom he deems a "terrorist" and hold "enemy combatants" indefinitely. Thankfully the "war on terror" is a government fabrication, for if it wasn't and people actually were dying in any large numbers the US would by now make North Korea look like Hong Kong.
What indicates that conservatives are particularly dull is that they seem to understand that everybody in power is against them, but at the same time desire the state to have the prerogative to decide whether they live or die. …
I don't know if I quite agree with Richard and Robert who believe that these sentiments represent something healthy that simply should be channeled into another direction….
The wars that resulted out of the attacks managed to somehow combine the worst aspects of White Man's Burden imperialism and Wilsonian idealism. And of course hostilities in the Middle East have facilitated the complete Zionist take over of the Republican Party. Sure, there's a decent bit of implicit whiteness and anti-ethnomasochism in there, but it's in a very thick neo-con shell which will be very difficult to crack.

What passes for "conservatism" these days is NOT conservatism. It is a patchwork of good-sounding rhetoric about freedom coupled with total support for the warfare-military-Zionist establishment. It was created by Rupert Murdoch and Peter Chernin, heads of Fox News, and, let me tell you, those guys are NOT conservative.
They did it to CONTROL conservatives, and they have been very successful. Thanks to the Mercury for pointing this out.
I'll think of one later on
July 5th, 2014 6:02 am
American Mercury, you claim to support the right of Western civilisation to exist, yet there is barely an article here critical of Islam, surely one of its most powerful threats. Every article in the 'Middle East' section is concerned with Israel only – nothing on any other country in the region. Instead, just an acknowledgement that both the Christian bible and the Koran of Islam promote violence, regardless of numerous factors separating those religions in terms of nastiness. The above article seems to suggest that the US should not have even gone into Afghanistan after 9/11, and that there is no 'terrorist problem'. Article after article mentioning Jews and Israel.
No bias there!

The Brand
Heavenly Cuisine Custom Catering began as a small catering venture in 2004. At an early event, Chef Mark met Erma, a lively, beautiful woman of some 80+ years. In the moments they spoke, Erma told Mark: "Your food is just heavenly! When I die, I want you to cater my wake." They laughed at the thought, though she insisted she was serious.
All too soon, Mark received an unexpected call from Erma 's daughter, relating that she had, in fact, passed away. Erma's daughter shared the the promise that she'd made to her mother; that Mark would cater her wake. Naturally, Mark obliged. To honor Erma's memory, he named his company "Heavenly Catering" and did a good bit of business.
Then came 2011 and the world changed. The economic crisis caused by the collapse of the housing and financial markets rolled into Pittsburgh. Suddenly, businesses and organizations that had previously hosted regular catered events had scaled back. Events got smaller. People started looking for cheaper catering solutions and they found them everywhere — at the expense of quality. Staying true to his roots and his philosophy of providing great food at a fair price to people who love to eat, Mark partnered with a Pittsburgh-based firm to re-brand his company. The new brand message would underscore luxury, quality, and the customization he'd built into his product. The new name "Heavenly Cuisine Custom Catering" best describes the quality of the food mark prepares, while also distinguishing himself from other caterers, as he customizes every event's menu.

|Cutting Mat Required
|GO! Cutting Mat, 6 in. x 12 in. (15.2 cm x 30.4 cm) Item AQ55112
|Cut Size
|Includes seam allowance. Cuts 2, 3 1/2"W x 6 1/2"H (8.9 cm x 16.5 cm) half rectangle triangles
If you love the look of half rectangle triangles but thinking about hand-cutting them makes you dizzy, you'll adore the simplicity of cutting these precise triangles to make a perfect rectangle. All you need is a 6 x 12-inch mat, your AccuQuilt GO! or GO! Baby, and this die. You won't even need to re-take geometry class.
Storage: Organize GO! dies with AccuQuilt GO! Die Storage Rack (AQ55115).
Die Tips:
- Cut up to 6 layers of cotton fabric at a time. For thicker fabrics, start with fewer layers and build up.
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- Use cutting plastic that matches size of each die.
- For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- Some dies feature specially designed corners to aid in alignment and pre-cutting.
- For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
- Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.
- It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
Care & Maintenance: Use adhesive roller to clean lint and thread from dies. After each use, with the die pick provided with the cutter, remove any threads embedded between blades and foam. It's normal for threads to get caught where blades meet in a die. Remove with tweezers or die pick. Die blades never need to be sharpened.
Warranty: AccuQuilt GO! dies are guaranteed for one year.
